Ashour Withdraws from PSA World Championships

Three-time World Champion Ramy Ashour has withdrawn from the 2018-19 PSA World Championships presented by the Walter Family after failing to recover from a knee injury.

The Egyptian former World No.1 was due to make his first appearance of the season having been absent from the PSA Tour since the British Open in May 2018.

His withdrawal now means that Finland's Olli Tuominen will now play Australia's Ryan Cuskelly.

The 2018-19 PSA World Championship will take place at Chicago’s Union Station, while matches from rounds one and two will also be held at MetroSquash and the University Club of Chicago.

Matches from Union Station will be shown live on SQUASHTV (rest of world) and Eurosport Player (Europe only), while the semi-finals and finals will also be shown live on mainstream broadcast channels around the world, including BT Sport, Fox Sports Australia and Astro.
